I’m not an avid celebrator of Lent, but I do enjoy reading through a Lenten devotional in the weeks leading up to Easter. After reading and loving Asheritah Ciuciu’s beautiful Advent devotional two Christmases ago, I knew Uncovering the Love of Jesus would be a great spiritual tone-setter for me this Easter season. Following a brief introduction to the purpose and meaning of Lent, the book is divided into seven one-week sections, with each section including five weekday devotionals, a weekly Sunday Lent celebration (ideal for family devotion time), and suggested family activities.
The theme of this devotional is the love exhibited by Jesus on the cross and at the tomb, and each daily reading zeroes in on a specific aspect of Jesus’ character or relational interactions as seen in Scripture. The devotionals include direct Bible teaching in addition to a prayer and spiritual application practice as we are invited to meditate on Jesus’ beautiful heart and then reflect that heart to those around us. This book is fairly straightforward, with a clear focus on Christ. While I would have enjoyed a little more commentary, I appreciated that Jesus was the star of the devotional.
Though intended for Lent, this devotional could be read any time of year. And if you choose to purchase this book, please invest in the physical copy: with its gorgeous case wrapped cover and glossy pages, it’s a book you will want sitting out on your coffee table every Easter season. This would make a superb gift—maybe for Valentine’s Day, in time to be enjoyed during Lent!

Uncovering the Love of Jesus is a Lenten devotional by author Asheritah Ciuciu.
The Lenten devotional is divided into seven weeks. Each week has devotionals to read plus activities to prepare the reader for Resurrection (Easter) Sunday. The author gives daily invitations to open your own Bible and read the story for yourself.
Uncovering the Love of Jesus devotional is written to be shared among family members but could also be done individually. One of my favorite parts is the crafts.
I would recommend the Lenten devotional to friends and family members of every denomination. Uncovering the Love of Jesus is written for all Christians.

This is a good book to read through during Lent. The readings focus on the life, character, teachings, and work of Jesus. We missed many days, but maybe next year those will be the days we read. 🙂

Earc from netgalley.
This a lenten devotional, and while written well, it simply was not the book I was hoping to read. I recommend though, if you are looking for a lenten devotional that includes families.
